<DT>Blog? Blog.<br><I>26 Jul 2006</I></DT><DD>
<P></P>
Hi there.
<P></P>
There is a new place to stay in touch with the latest news about the
project: <A HREF="http://txt2tags.wordpress.com">the txt2tags Blog</A>. Stay updated about releases,
files, documents, translations, site updates.
<P></P>
The good old do-it-yourself news/RSS by hand worked until today, but
using a Blog system like WordPress, we get some advantages:
<P></P>
 <UL>
 <LI>Feeds (RSS) with HTML code. The old "by hand" was text-only.
 <LI>Automatic feeds for: whole blog, each category, each post, all
   comments, comments by post.
 <LI>Permanent (readable) URL for each post, important to keep things
   organized and easy to find.
 <LI>Multiple categories (tags) to mark each post, so you can monitor
   just want interests you.
 <LI>And more.
 </UL>
<P></P>
Talking about feeds, subscribe to the txt2tags blog now!
<P></P>
But my favorite feature is having <B>comments for each post</B>. Now
everybody can talk and contribute, changing the monologue to a nice
conversation.
<P></P>
It's up and running. Enjoy!
<P></P>
<DT>NetBSD txt2tags package<br><I>11 Jul 2006</I></DT><DD>
<P></P>
<U>Daniel Bolgheroni</U> packaged txt2tags for the NetBSD system
(pkgsrc). Got interested? Check the <A HREF="../download.html">download page</A>.
<P></P>
<DT>New Apache module mod_t2t<br><I>06 Feb 2006</I></DT><DD>
<P></P>
<U>Cesar Gimenes</U> created a new module for the Apache web server,
<A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mod-t2t/">mod_t2t</A>. Using this module
you can upload just the .t2t files to the web server, and the HTML
files will be generated on demand. It saves disk space since the
source files are smaller, and maybe some interesting uses of the
%%date macro may appear!

<DT>Txt2tags project and donations<br><I>12 Aug 2005</I></DT><DD>
<P></P>
  After 4 years of txt2tags, donations are now turned ON. SourceForge
  has a nice built-in donate feature (via PayPal), so I thought "Why
  not?". If you like to donate to Open Source software,
  <A HREF="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&amp;business=verde%40aurelio%2enet&amp;item_name=txt2tags%20donation&amp;no_shipping=1&amp;return=http%3a%2f%2faurelio%2enet%2fdonate%2dthanks%2ehtml&amp;cn=&amp;tax=0&amp;currency_code=USD&amp;bn=PP%2dDonationsBF&amp;charset=UTF%2d8">now you can</A>. If you don't, just ignore the Donate
  button.
<P></P>
  <B>FAQ:</B> Nothing changes. Txt2tags will never be paid-software.
  I don't expect to become rich. The site won't be spammed with Donate
  buttons. Txt2tags continues to be a one-man spare-time project, with
  the help of <A HREF="../team">many volunteers</A>.

<DT>The Txt2tags Team Gallery<br><I>05 Aug 2005</I></DT><DD>
<P></P>
  As you may have noticed by the latest news, the translators are
  working very hard, even fighting the big 50-page User Guide. Doing so,
  they have their nice happy picture placed on the brand-new
  <A HREF="../team">Txt2tags Team Gallery</A>. Don't miss this link, see them all! But
  I'm wondering... Why they keep translating even when their picture is
  already there? Maybe they are trying to impress Fabianne, the only
  girl on the team? ;)

<DT>Released my new version 1.6<br><I>23 Jul 2003</I></DT><DD class="release">
<P></P>
Hi there! Here I am again with fresh news.
<P></P>
Today my v1.6 was released. The main improvements are the new
 %!preproc: and %!postproc: user defined filters. They are used to
do some strange things on documents (see User Guide). There's also a
new mark + for explicit numbered titles, <I>+like this+</I>, so now you
can mix normal titles with numbered ones, like a book with Appendix.
<P></P>
Now all the config settings can be linked with a specific target,
using the new <I>%!key(target): value</I> syntax. The target specification
is optional, so the parenthesis and its contents can be omitted. A nice
sample: <I>%!encoding(html): iso-8859-1</I>
<P></P>
Lots of user reported bugs were fixed, titles on LaTeX are unnumbered
by default (as other targets) and the Gui was improved, showing
 %!cmdline contents (if any) and refreshing checkboxes when a new

  <A HREF="http://br.groups.yahoo.com/group/txt2tags-br/">Mailing List</A> for you Portuguese speakers! And prepare
  yourself for more surprises, as sample files and documentation also in
  portuguese. Just don't hold your breath ;)

<DT>GUI patch for version 1.5 (turns to v1.5.1)<br><I>14 May 2003</I></DT><DD>
<P></P>
  I'm sad :( My master released me with a critical bug on my Graphical
  Interface. Command line &amp; Web users has no reason to worry.
<P></P>
  If you do use me on the GUI mode (the orange one),
  please apply the patch to fix me.

<DT>Released my new version 1.5<br><I>09 May 2003</I></DT><DD class="release">
<P></P>
Tsc, Tsc... Almost three months from the last version, what a shame!
But the new features will worth the delay.
<P></P>
The most important improvement is my new %!cmdline setting. Using
it you can define default options for each document, and when
converting, you can call me with no options at all! Example: You place
a "<I>%!cmdline: -t html --toc</I>" line on your source document, then you
can convert it with the simple "<I>txt2tags file.t2t</I>" command.
<P></P>
There is also a new --outfile option (-o for short) to set the
output filename. If you specify "<I>-o -</I>", you get the same behavior
of the old --stdout option (which is now deprecated).
<P></P>
Talking about options, there are the new short -H and -n for the
existing --noheaders and --enumtitle options. A nice quick
example:
<P></P>
<PRE>
txt2tags-v1.4 -t html --enumtitle --stdout file.t2t &gt; new.html
txt2tags-v1.5 -t html -n -o new.html file.t2t
</PRE>

<P></P>
Ah! LaTeX target now supports images :)
<P></P>
<DT>Released my new version 1.4<br><I>18 February 2003</I></DT><DD class="release">
<P></P>
I've enjoyed my X-mas/New Year vacation, then some lazy days on
a hot Brazilian beach, what a great time! But now it is time to get
back to work, so there's a new release of the most sexy text eater
out there: <B>me!</B>
<P></P>
The burning sun has made lots of changes on me. I'm specially proud
of my new ability to master table alignment. I can place the table
centered or not, and I can place <I>each table cell</I> contents wherever
I want! Left, Right, Centered... See AbuseMe! file for a
demonstration.
<P></P>
The good news for HTML users is that now I've learned about that
Cascading thing... SCC, CCS, CSS, I don't remember... Just use my
new --style command line option or the %!Style: setting.
<P></P>
There's a new --toclevel option also, and I promise I'll not make
TOC deeper than the number you pass me.
<P></P>
Mmmmmm, there were some bug fixes also, but let's forget about them,
you know I'm not buggy! ;)
<P></P>
<DT>I was forked! Oops, ported!<br><I>01 January 2003</I></DT><DD>
<P></P>
  Hey! I was "ported" (or something like that) to a system called
  FreeBSD. Mmmmm, they have a demon... But I don't wanna go to hell!!!
<P></P>
<DT>Released my new version 1.3<br><I>20 December 2002</I></DT><DD class="release">
<P></P>
Weeee, I'm tired! Lots of changes were made on me for this release and
now I need a break!
<P></P>
The news include a brand new mark (rare to happen!) for raw text, this
way you can easily include marks on the document target and I promise
I won't parse them!
<P></P>
A new <I>Encoding</I> command is available also for worldwide users
specify their own Character Set for their documents.
<P></P>
And there are more improvements and fixes, but please read the
ChangeLog file because now I'll go to sleep. zzZZzzzzZZZZzz...

<DT>My new User Guide<br><I>20 December 2002</I></DT><DD>
<P></P>
  My dear master released a new document, and it talks about me!
  This doc is still on the larval stage, but it will be cool someday.
  <A HREF="/userguide/">Read all about me</A>, contribute, fix typos, enjoy!
<P></P>
<DT>Released my new version 1.2 (LaTeX release)<br><I>03 December 2002</I></DT><DD class="release">
<P></P>
Hi! Finally I've learned one of the geek's most used document
formatting: <B>LaTeX</B>. Just run me with "<I>-t tex</I>" and see your
current .t2t files turn into LaTeX, ready for compiling!
<P></P>
Ah! I'm getting smart, and now I can handle more than one file at the
same time. Hint: *.t2t
<P></P>
And my last new feature is the ability of strip down an HTML file to
an "almost finished" .t2t file. Sorry !Vimmers, because this works on
Vim only.
<P></P>
What are you waiting for? Download me right now and test my new
features: <I>txt2tags --toc -t tex *.t2t</I>
<P></P>
<DT>Released my new version 1.1<br><I>06 November 2002</I></DT><DD class="release">
<P></P>
Attention! Please read <I>carefully</I> before upgrade me!
<P></P>
This new v1.1 is a <B>compatibility break</B> release.
<P></P>
This means that after upgrading, you will have to check your current
txt2tags files, and possibly fix them. Ignoring this release is not an
option :) because the next versions will assume you have fixed your
files.
<P></P>
Please read the "Survivor's Guide for v1.1 Upgrade" for more detailed
information about what has changed and how to fix your files.
<P></P>
But there are nice news also:
 <UL>
 <LI>Images can now point to links, as: [[img.gif] www.abc.com]
 <LI>New foldmethod=syntax rules on the Vim syntax file
 <LI>Improvements on the URL matcher
 </UL>

<DT>My own mailing list<br><I>23 October, 2002</I></DT><DD>
<P></P>
  Today I woke up from bed surprised with a brand new
  <A HREF="http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/txt2tags-list">mailing list</A> about me! Please subscribe, please,
  pleeeeeeease ;)
<P></P>
<DT>My new web page<br><I>01 October, 2002</I></DT><DD>
<P></P>
  Today my dear master gave me a new site. Now I'm sexy!
<P></P>
<DT>Released my new version 1.0<br><I>25 September, 2002</I></DT><DD class="release">
<P></P>
This release starts my <I>1.x series</I>.
<P></P>
More than a year of almost-monthly updates, and the <I>0.x series</I>
provided me a nice set of features, as Command Line and Web interface,
TOC handling, numbering titles and lists, STDIN/STDOUT facilities,
vim/emacs syntax files and seven supported target formats.
<P></P>
For the incoming <I>1.x series</I>, I'll try to spread myself out,
providing a nice GUI, extensive documentation, mailing list, user
base, Unix/Windows/Mac full compatibility and including more targets
(as tex, rtf and xhtml).
<P></P>
On this 1.0 release I'm already at full speed ahead, with a new suit
(Graphical Tk Interface) and compatibility with Unix/Windows/Mac,
handling line breaks and other platform specific issues. Fortunately,
now my master can reach Linux, Windows 2000, Cygwin and MacOS 8.6
systems for testing me.
